From Barack Obama’s speech at the DNC:
Now, many of these plans will cost money, which is why I’ve laid out how I’ll pay for every dime – by closing corporate loopholes and tax havens that don’t help America grow.
But according to factcheck.org:
In July, the campaign told the Los Angeles Times that they estimate the yearly cost of their proposed tax cuts at $130 billion. They put revenue from closing tax loopholes at just $80 billion.
There are other chunks of change here and there you could add to either column, but there’s just no way to make those numbers meet the way he’s claiming they do.

There must be more to this argument. You have not done sufficient research or provided enough evidence to make this assertion.

@BS, of course not, Obama would NEVER lie. C’mon now, he’s just as much of a liar as McCain. I doubt you would ever say “there must be more to this argument” about any McCain lie.
People, people, both parties are corrupt and dishonest.
